| [00:02.14] |
Now I'm just a bartender |
| [00:06.34] |
And I don't like my work |
| [00:10.58] |
But I don't mind the money at all |
| [00:18.64] |
I see lots of sad faces |
| [00:23.31] |
And lots of bad cases |
| [00:27.57] |
Folks with their backs to the wall |
| [00:35.31] |
But I need four walls around me |
| [00:40.26] |
To hold my life |
| [00:44.47] |
To keep me from going astray |
| [00:52.45] |
And a honky-tonk angel |
| [00:57.14] |
To hold me tight |
| [01:01.45] |
To keep me from slipping away |
| [01:09.76] |
I can light up your smokes |
| [01:13.91] |
I can laugh at your jokes |
| [01:18.05] |
I can watch you fall down on your knees |
| [01:26.31] |
I can close down this bar |
| [01:30.38] |
I can gas up my old car |
| [01:34.18] |
I can pack up and mail in the key |
| [01:42.29] |
But I need four walls around me |
| [01:47.09] |
To hold my life |
| [01:51.41] |
To keep me from going astray |
| [01:59.27] |
And a honky-tonk angel |
| [02:03.93] |
To hold me tight |
| [02:08.22] |
To keep me from slipping away |
| [02:33.23] |
Now the smoke fills the air |
| [02:37.16] |
In this honky-tonk bar |
| [02:40.90] |
And I'm thinking 'bout where I'd rather be |
| [02:49.03] |
But I burned all my bridges |
| [02:53.42] |
And I sank all ships |
| [02:57.31] |
Now I'm stranded at the edge of the sea |
| [03:04.94] |
I still need four walls around me |
| [03:09.86] |
To hold my life |
| [03:13.99] |
To keep me from going astray |
| [03:21.36] |
And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight |
| [03:30.49] |
To keep me from slipping away |
